Madden NFL Mobile has added an online leagues functionality with support for up to 32 players. To access the mode, you can simply tap the leagues button from the main HUB. Leagues are available to all players at Level 5 or higher in Madden Mobile.

You can create your own league with specific requirements and a wide assortment of logos ranging from real to fantasy. League members play against each other in a ladder format, with you being able to challenge two members above you in a head-to-head game to rank up. Players can compete in just two games at once (one started by you, and one started against you).

Another cool perk of being in a league, is that whenever a league member makes an in-app purchase, the rest of the league will receive a gift ranging from coins to card packs. It's a pretty cool bonus which will undoubtedly spur in-app purchases for players.

This is a cool new addition to Madden on iOS, and while our review wasn't glowing, the game will likely continue to receive updates to improve the overall experience.

They're fine. I actually prefer an always connected experience.
I'd really prefer an offline way to play, but its not a bother.
I don't really like them, and am more reluctant to buy a game because of it.
I won't buy them. I want my games offline.
